Description:

Meet Shelby.

This sweet girl was surrendered because her owner lost her home and had to move to an apartment where she couldn't take her. She is 8yrs old, vacinated and spayed.

Shelby is a sweet, calm, mellow girl who desperately needs a
new family. She is good with other dogs, cats and kids.

Her is an update from Shelby's foster parents:

Shelby is wonderful.  We never have to keep Shelby in her crate (although 
she didn't mind the times we did), she loves going for walks and wrestling 
with our other dog (she keeps up with him pretty well considering he is 2.5 
years old).

She loves being around people and follows us everywhere - she's very eager
to please and loves to sit and shake.  She is great in the car and sleeps
all the way through the night, usually on the floor right next to the bed.
She isn't possessive of food or toys and loves a good game of tug-of-war.

UPDATE FROM SHELBY'S ADOPTIVE HOME, JULY 23RD, 2011:

We just LOVE her!  
She is a great fit for our home.  She is great with our young children,  
visitors, and out and about.  She is mostly mellow with a streak of  
energy from time to time, and hangs pretty close to us.  She can be a  
bit protective of us when other dogs are around, but it hasn't been an  
issue.  We were able to work with our vet on meds for her arthritis,  
and she seems like she never had it!  Nice not to see her in pain/ 
discomfort.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
